(ANSA) - ROME, JUL 22 - Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister
Antonio Tajani said Monday that there is no risk of the
coalition supporting Premier Giorgia Meloni's government being
unsettled by the different choices the parties within it make at
the EU level.
Tajani's centre-right Forza Italia (FI) voted in favour European
Commission Ursula von der Leyen's re-election last week, but the
MEPs from Meloni's right-wing Brothers of Italy (FdI) party and
Deputy Premier and Transport Minister Matteo Salvini's League
voted against.
"Absolutely not," Tajani told reporters when asked if these
differences could have an impact on the government.
"It has always been clear that there are different positions.
"We belong to different families (at the EU level), but this has
no impact on the ruling majority or on the government's
activities.
"FI is always at the forefront on implementing the (government)
program without creating any turbulence.
"We intend to reach the end of the parliamentary term with a
centre-right majority. "I can reassure all Italians that there
will be no problem regarding the majority holding up". (ANSA).
